Port Of Call

And I
I called through the air that night
A calm sea voiced with a lie
I could only smile
I've been alone some time
And all in all
It's been fun
And you, you had hope for me now
I danced all around it somehow
Be fair to me
I may drift awhile
Were it up to me
You'd know why
I, I called through the air that night
The fault was warming inside
Was it infantile that which we desire?
Were it up to me, all from your eyes
And I, I called through the air that night
My thoughts were still blurry in time
We were closer then
I'd been alone some time
Filled your glass with gin
Filled your heart with pride
And you, you had hope for me now
I danced all around it somehow
Be fair to me
I may drift awhile
If there's a plan for me
Would it make you smile?
No, I don't want to be there for no one
I'd stay here
No, I don't want to be there for no one
That's over the sea
I don't want to follow your light
On the sea
No, I don't want to be there for no one
That I can't see
